Abstract
Kambo is an emerging ritual, which involves the application of the toxin produced by Phyllomedusa bicolor to a freshly burnt area to heal chronic diseases of the mind and body. Due to the widespread use of kambo, more cases of symptomatic health conditions are being discovered. In this case study, we report a patient with psychosis potentially due to the kambo ritual.
